Description
Colorized photo from 1905
Original title: Boat house
Photographer: Detroit Publishing
Location: Lincoln Park, South Pond, Chicago, IL
If you have ever visited Lincoln park, then you would know there is a building on the South pond, by the name of Cafe Brauer. It was built in 1908, but used only till about 1940. Then they stopped using it for 50 years, only to fix it up in 1987 and that's what you see now.
But this is not that building. This is the building before that one, the original, Cafe Brauer. It started off as a large two story house, the cafe was on the top, I believe the bottom was used when they used the lake as an ice skating rink. In the summer they rented out small boats and a small family could row around the water.
It wasn't mentioned why it was removed other than the new one is larger and made of brick, so there won't be any wolf blowing that place down.
